Talk:Cargolux Flight 7933

Incorrect information and irrelevant details

 * 1) The lemma is highly unspecific and also wrong (see next item).
 * 2) The flight number is incorrectly stated throughout the article (and of no relevance at all).
 * 3) The event is categorized by Wikipedia as an accident, while it was officially categorized as a serious incident.
 * 4) The aircraft did not land on the vehicle. It touched it during the flare and landed on the runway.
 * 5) There was nobody onboard the van, when it was hit by the aircraft's wheel.
 * 6) Nobody was injured.
 * 7) The maintenance crew working on the runway centre line lights consisted of two people.
 * 8) There were 5 survivors, not just 3.

Apart from that, this article is full of irrelevant details like
 * the Boeing customer code
 * the SCD suffix
 * the aircraft registration (acceptable, however, if used in lieu of the flight number)
 * the manufacturer's serial number
 * the line number
 * the first flight date
 * the delivery date
 * the legs flown the day before

Who cares?

This is all pseudo-information, which does not add anything to the article.

The paramount question is whether this incident is relevant enough for inclusion.

I suggest deleting it.

 * While I agree that much of the information listed above, is not required in an aviation near accident article, I do not agree that it is "pseudo" information. "Pseudo" means "false" and though much of it is trivia information that doesn't add anything of value to the article, it is not false information.


 * I oppose deleting the article. While it actually amounted to a "serious incident" (it was reclassified in the final report from "accident" to "serious incident"), it is still quite notable for inclusion in the Wiki category of aviation accidents and incidents, because it was a very close call. The end result could have been the loss of one of the world's largest aircraft because of communications errors with ATC, which was the cause of the Tenerife runway collision, that resulted in the loss of 583 lives.
